Product details

How to use it

Carefully remove the old growing medium and place the roots in the undiluted mix. The recommended method is to water by soaking and then allow it to drain completely. Adapt subsequent watering and feeding to your growing system.

Switching from bark to mineral particles changes watering requirements. This recipe is intended for the listed epiphytic orchids; do not assume it suits all terrestrial orchids.

Frequently asked questions

Can it be used in semi-hydroponics?

Yes. This is one of the product’s applications. Reservoir management and nutrition must be adapted to the container and orchid.

Does bark need to be added?
